2025-2026 Meetings - Please note the change to our 2025-26 Format:

  • We will have one day of CLE with dynamic speakers. Our first year will focus on trial ad skills. Unfortunately, new lawyers are not present in the courtroom regularly.  This impacts their opportunities to learn what to do/not to do.  Whether you are a senior member or a new law school grad, you will glean something from the programming that you can promptly use in your next trial.   Further, this will eliminate long meetings each month.
  • We will still have our monthly meetings, but they will be civility/social events at locations to be determined. We will have fun, food/drinks, etc and we will have the option to allow members to sponsor happy hours.  We want you to communicate more as opposed to sitting quietly at meetings with the small groups that you already interact with on a monthly basis.
  • We will continue to meet with our small groups to allow for mentorship and relationship-building opportunities.
